Tell my people I wonÂ't be coming home
IÂ'll be walking in the streets tonight
Shaking hands with everybody I meet
Saying the king had a dream and now its realized
The king had a dream and now itÂ's all realized
I saw a man start running
He ran so fast, he began to fly
He flew across America
And then over the world
And if he can do it then so can I
And my children will say so can I
Singing yes we can
Singing yes we can
Singing yes we can
Yes we can
Tell my people I wonÂ't be coming home
IÂ'll be dancing in the streets tonight
And tell your people they can all come along
ThereÂ's a party in the streets tonight
And do you worry bout no Babylon
Cause the man in charge
He looks like iron
WeÂ'll be singing freedom songs till the early morning
So come on join me if u like
Come and join in if u like
Singing yes we can
Singing yes we can
Singing yes we can
And if he can do it then so can I
And my children will say so can I
And my childrenÂ's children will say so can I
And we can all say so can I
